Immune Boosting Foods

  • Nutrition

We often think of supporting our immune system around wintertime or flu season. However, it is worth noting that our immune system is challenged constantly every day and although this is good for our immune system if you are that person that easily attracts a cold, flu, or tummy bug frequently, then it is best to start looking to your diet to aid your immunity, with consuming one or two of my recommended immune-boosting foods it can help to support your immune system on a daily basis.

 

Bee Pollen is often referred to as “natures most perfect food” because it’s a complete protein, containing all eight essential amino acids, it is also rich in fatty acids, enzymes, carotenoids, vitamins and minerals, making it an anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-fungal super-food that can help reduce inflammation and stimulate our immune system. Bee Pollen is compromised of tiny, golden yellow to dark brown granules that have a delicate flavor, which varies according to the plant pollen it was made from. It can easily be added to smoothies, juices, yogurts, cereal, or simply on its own. It is important to note if you are allergic to bee-related products do not consume this food.

 

Garlic is renowned for its health benefits, particularly as an infection fighter. It contains sulfur-containing compounds allicin, diallyl-disulfide, and diallyl-trisulphide. These compounds are anti-microbial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal. Scientific evidence has shown that Allicin can be effective in fighting off colds, flu, viruses, and yeast infections. Chopping or crushing garlic stimulates the enzymatic process that converts the phytochemical Allin into Allicin, and garlic can be added into any savory recipe or eaten on its own, it is at your own discretion how much you wish to consume. My recommendation when a cold is imminent the more the better, your loved ones will understand the body odor.

 

Ginger has been associated with being very effective in alleviating digestive symptoms due the fact that it is an excellent carminative, a substance that promotes the elimination of intestinal wind, and intestinal spasmolytic, which helps relaxes and soothes the intestinal tract. As a result, when our digestive system is working efficiently then our gut microbiome can play an integral role in supporting our immune system, 70-80 percent of our immune system is in our gut and our gut microbiome is its key player in strengthening our immune system. Furthermore ginger contains a very potent anti-inflammatory compound called zingerone, shogaols, and gingerols. These compounds are powerful anti-microbial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal factors. Gingerol may inhibit the formation of inflammatory cytokines, chemical messengers of the immune system, and can help reduce inflammation especially intestinal inflammation. Fresh ginger can easily be added to stir-fries, soups, stews, teas, smoothies, and juices.

 

 

Raw honey is taken out of the cell of honeycombs and contains bee pollen and propolis that boosts overall immunity. Raw honey cannot be heated over 95 degrees Fahrenheit, it is neither filtered nor pasteurized and it is free from any preservatives and additives. Raw honey has been shown to be effective in treating coughs by reducing mucus secretions with a single dose (1 teaspoon) of raw honey. Furthermore using one teaspoon of raw honey along with a slice of fresh ginger and lemon added to warm water can help aid a sore throat. Raw honey is full of natural prebiotics that promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria known as probiotics in our digestive tract. As a result, honey is one food to consider having in the fridge. It can be added to cereal, yogurt, smoothies, baked goods, or simple on its own. It is important to note if you are allergic to bee-related products do not consume this food.

 

Shiitake and Maitake mushrooms are fungi that grow naturally on decaying hardwood trees. They provide a wonderful taste, texture to omelets, stir-fries, soups and stews. The health benefits of Shiitake and Maitake mushrooms are primarily due to their polysaccharides components such as lentinan and beta-glucans respectively. The healing benefits of these polysaccharides are their ability to boost the immune system, strengthening its ability to fight infection and disease. They are also excellent sources of B vitamins, potassium, and selenium, and good sources of protein, dietary fiber, and vitamin D all needed to help support our immune system.

 

Turmeric is an essential spice that needs to be in everyone’s pantry. Curcumin is the active compound in turmeric that gives the spice its yellow-orange color. Curcumin has several medicinal properties with numerous clinical studies highlighting curcumin's anti-inflammatory effects. Hence reducing inflammation in the body can help support our immune system. Turmeric can be added to numerous dishes such as mashed dishes like potatoes, soups, stews, sautés with onions, broccoli, carrots or bell peppers, and you can try out turmeric latte as an alternative to tea and coffee.

    The meal went without incident although a couple of times she had to avert her gaze from Dan for fear of bursting out laughing. Dan went up to his room saying he wanted to listen to music, he laid on his bed playing with himself waiting for his father to leave. He thought about the events of the last two weeks it had been the craziest time of his life. He put it all down to Mary Harris, she had been his girlfriend for two years, he liked her a lot, she was pretty and intelligent two things that rarely combined in his experience, the problem was she steadfastly refused to let him put his cock inside her, he had thought he was getting somewhere when he took his cock out that evening in the cinema when she had finally allowed him to get his hand inside her panties, it was the first time she had allowed him to do any more than play with her tits. He had taken her hand and placed it on his erection, initially he had been pleased to hear her sharp intake of breath when she felt the size of him and he was encouraged when she began stroking him. It was later that the problem started, he had her in the car park, they were kissing, her sweater was pushed up together with her bra and he was sucking on her nipples. He managed to get her laid across the front of one of the cars, his hand up her skirt, trying to pull down her panties. That was when she had stopped him. https://cannabis.net/user/147679 https://www.brollopsguiden.se/medlemspresentation/86293 https://www.brollopsguiden.se/medlemspresentation/86082 https://www.divephotoguide.com/user/catinhat19831958 https://www.cossa.ru/profile/?ID=238758 https://chyoa.com/user/symptoms1998 https://mostak1971.bandcamp.com/album/master-and-pet-0 https://truthand1971.micro.blog/about/ https://www.brollopsguiden.se/medlemspresentation/86165 https://launchpad.net/~r0cket9419571
